How many pizzas in a school bus?
Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 2 months ago
About 8 pizzas the size of small/large boulder.

Same as eyes in a guant squid I guess…

Metric you filthy barbarian!

Can someome PLEASE get a banana down there?
A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 2 months ago
This here.
Yesterday I read a book with lots of drawn (!) illustrations of the largest insects to a 5yo. It doesn’t work.

You need specialized hardware - a simple banana would crush under the pressure.
In order to properly measure and preserve the dimensions of the banana, you would need a miniature submarine with a clear glass window.
How they managed to get the pizzas and school bus down there is not explained, however I trust that they did the measurements properly with pizza and school bus submarines.

Not possible. Bananas are rich in potassium and potassium explodes upon contact with water.

This is perfect for the Anything but Metric comm!

What’s going on in the left photo? Does the squid have bioluminescent danglers at the front?

Maybe it’s like my cat when I catch her on my security cams in night life. Fuckin lasers.

Lasers, how do they work?!

Yeah, it’s wild they do actually have large “photophores” at the ends of its arms. More info here:
livescience.com/…/elusive-octopus-squid-with-worl…
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taningia_danae
Taningia danae, the Dana octopus squid, is a species of squid in the family Octopoteuthidae, the octopus squids. It is one of the largest known squid species, and it has one of the largest photophores (light organs) known in any organism.

Hey! That’s not nice. It’s true, but it’s not nice.
moopet@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Like, say, this here stick. We’ll call it a “metre”.
LodeMike@lemmy.today 2 months ago
Huh? Whar do you use to measure the size of things?
Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
I can you not understand the concept of a comparison because your too fucking stupid to not be a racist xenophobic shit stain?
Its ok if you want to be a racist xenophobic shit stain. This is Lemmy after all, everyone’s a racist xenophobic shit stain around here.
But could you at least be subtle about it? Some of us are trying to make jokes about the dumb size comparisons between all the causal hate speach.

How many glocks is a pizza. So confused.
ashenblood@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it true that Europeans still haven’t figured out how to land on the Moon? Aside from the US and USSR doing it 50+ years ago, China, Japan, and India have also managed to achieve it by now. Hell, even Singapore and Pakistan are gonna get there before you.
It’s because hydrogen is superior to electric batteries in terms of ease of storage, range, filling up, and probably even energy use.
Confidently incorrect. Love to see it. If only you could ascertain the size of your own head relative to the size of your brain.
Griffus@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
With such statsian measurements, its hard to tell for the rest of us; are the pizzas big for the US or for normal people?
yakko@feddit.uk 2 months ago
If you order the largest size pizza in America and it fits through the door horizontally, you’re legally permitted to eat the delivery driver.
Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Big

Thank You!
This being the NY Post, I wasn’t sure about factuality. There’s nothing in the pictures that would indicate its size.
sibannac@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Its not metric but thats amore.
mortemtyrannis@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
No that’s a squid, not an eel.
AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 2 months ago
They’ve been washing up on shore for over a century. What do you mean ‘evidence discovered’?
xzinik@feddit.cl 2 months ago
they got a bus next to one and put pizzas over its eyes
ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 2 months ago
put pizzas over its eyes
We all know that pizza was still eaten.
AoxoMoxoA@lemmy.world 2 months ago
What used to be considered a large pizza is now sold as extra large and it really isn’t as big as an old large pizza its like what a medium was . So this thing has a big ass body and beedie little eyes
zeroConnection@programming.dev 2 months ago
But does the pizza have pineapples on it?
Chivera@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Costco pizza or Little Caesars
MashedTech@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I wish Costco. I wish everything was the size of a Costco.

New pizza topping, Squid Eye!
You mean squid eyes?
No, squid eye.

How big in terms of burgers
shath@hexbear.net 2 months ago

Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Anything but metric.
Soulg@ani.social 2 months ago
Yeah like two extremely relatable and immediately identifiable sizes that are much more visceral than saying ~13.3m and ~38cm
Thorry@feddit.org 2 months ago
I hate to break it to you, but when someone states anything in metric, I immediately have a feel for how large that is. That’s because we usually state everything in metric, so we don’t need to refer to random stuff and just learn the sizes of everything.
MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Both school busses and pizzas change in size around the world. Metres do not
Obi@sopuli.xyz 2 months ago
Well I’m glad you posted the actual measurements because now I actually know how big it is, so thank you for that.
ranzispa@mander.xyz 2 months ago
What is large pizza? The only size of pizza I know is pizza. How many seats does the school bus have? That can easily change by 15 meters.
funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
bigger than a school bus describes a Bodega, the eiffel tower, Mexico, Jupiter and the entirety of the universe.
Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
The thing about a meter is that it’s the same length everywhere. A large pizza and a bus, however…
HenriVolney@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
I am the first to shit on the imperialsystelm. I have to admit I agree with you on that one
JennyLaFae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Be really easy to say something like “squid the size of a 15 meter bus with eyes the size of a 38cm pizza”
Now I’m wondering how the search trends look when these stories hit. Does google have a spike of people asking how big a school bus is and/or for average size of large pizza? Is it something they’re doing on purpose to gather more data on us?
